DH had already told me he will not, or even drink less when/if I get KU. He laughed at me the first couple times and pretty much said it's my burden to bear. I think someone will be doing a few more MOTN wake-ups...
-
Nope. He did ask whether it bothered me or if I'd like him to stop because I had to, but that felt unnecessary to me.
-
No, he drank a lot at a few weddings and had beers at date nights.
-
DH drank less simply because we weren't going out to bars together. I didn't order drinks at dinner, so he didn't either. There was less alcohol around the house. However, I was pusher. Whenever he was drinking, I encouraged him out of jealousy.
-
Nope. He has been drinking just as much as normal, which is fairly often. It doesn't bother me at all.
-
Nope- but DH and I very rarely drink- so he maybe had 3 drinks total the whole 9/10 months!
-
Nope.
-
Nope - I was the official designated driver!
-
Dh doesn't really drink anyway but I wouldn't have cared if he drank here and there while I was pregnant.
-
DH doesn't drink anyway so it's a non-issue for us. He will def still drink his coffee though!
-
Nope. But he did drink less because we usually share a drink together at dinner during the week some nights. Without me as a drinking buddy he typically only had something if we went out.
ETA: I did ask him to skip eating sushi when I was around because I missed it so much! But after a while I realized that I could get my fix having raw fish free rolls
-
No he continued as normal.
-
Nope; why should he "suffer" just because I am pregnant? Not that this is the case, but it definitely seems tit for tat when people make their partners stop doing something just because they can't do it.
-
Oh heck no! We socialize a lot less in general since I've been pregnant, but if we did go out with friends he drank. He was very excited about his automatic DD. Our only rule is we get to go home when I say, since I was driving and got tired easily!
-
I guess I shouldn't feel so outraged, then. I'm not REALLY, but I guess it was the way he gwauffed at just the idea of it. I do drink an amount, at least one drink every night and pretty much every function we go to, so it'll be a little tough to see DH and everyone around me drinking.
-
Hahaha yea rt. Dh did not abstain and I wouldn't tell him to either! I'm not much of a drinker tho, so I didn't see it as something I was giving up.
-
haha...no way! and I wouldn't expect him too
-
@snowjewelz: Same! I asked my husband about coffee and he looked at me like I had three heads.
-
Nope. And neither did I. I see nothing wrong with having a glass of wine every now and then during pregnancy, and my OB gave me the OK to do so.
-
Nope! It never bothered me that he drank while I was pregnant.
-
Nope, he actually took advantage of it because he always had a designated driver. I didn't mind at all.
-
Yes he did.
-
@yoursilverlining: tru dat.
-
Nope, but his beers smell so good to me! I'm sure when I hit 3rd trimester I will sneak a sip or 2.
-
He cut way way back which I appreciated because there isn't much that's more annoying than someone who has been drinking when you are sober.
-
Not a chance. As a matter of fact, he relished the fact that he had a DD for all occassions. {I didn't blame him one bit.}
-
Nope. He doesn't drink that often anyways.
-
Nope. He probably drank less because we weren't splitting a bottle of wine at dinner like we did before. I wouldn't ask him to stop, I don't see the point.
-
Mine is a pretty big drinker (like most Friday nights) and he did not stop drinking at all during the pregnancy and after the birth. The only time I banned him from drinking was after 37 weeks, because I didn't want to be that girl with the drunk husband in the hospital! I was/am jealous that he still gets to go out, but I also don't see the point in both of us not doing what we want!
-
He did cut back, when it was just hte two of us he would order a pop instead of a beer since I couldn't drink, but when we were out socially he still did. I also had a huge adversion to the smell of alcohol, so that didn't help matters
He had to sleep on the couch because I could smell it coming out of him if he even drank one beer.
-
Nope! He doesn't drink much anyways, but I definitely wouldn't tell him to stop. Besides, if he stopped, how am I supposed to take a sip of his beer?
-
Nope. He's always joking that he's "drinking for 2." Not funny.
-
Nope. Neither of us are big drinkers, but I couldn't have cared less if he drank while I was pregnant.
-
No
-
So far, DH is still drinking. I don't mind. We don't really go to bars much or anything. So, our drinking is mostly done at restaraunts or at home. He hasn't been drinking at home and he's not drinking as much when we go out to eat. We spent last weekend down at the beach and he drank there. I haven't told him to drink less, but It's probably just because it's not as fun.
-
Neither of us were big drinkers, by the time I became pregnant. He had would have a beer or glass of wine with dinner, now and again, but nothing excessive. I was never requested to DD, or anything.
-
He doesn't drink much anyway, so now with me not drinking I don't remember him having a drink since I got pregnant.
-
My husband offered to stop, but I thought that was kind of pointless. I told him he's drinking for 2 now! He's definitely cut back a lot though, since he doesn't have me to share a bottle of wine with. But sometimes he'll still have a beer or two, while I drink fancy bottled root beer in bottles that look just like beer!
-
LOL um I think one of his first comments this last pregnancy was "Great! You get to be the DD (designated driver) all summer!!"
-
Nope...and I wouldn't have expected him to either. I'm not a big drinker though. If we were out at an event where there was social drinking I'm pretty sure I encouraged him to have an extra drink on my behalf.
